Objectives

Thanks to the many projects carried out on the subject, daily activities and analyzes developed, we have understood how violence, bullying and cyberbullying have increased in recent years, both in meeting places such as schools or centers, and online, through social networks , increasingly a place to perpetuate this type of action. Our goal was therefore to involve other young people from all over Europe to raise awareness of the problem and highlight a solution: sport as a factor in building character, promoting tolerance and solidarity and the union of people. The main objective of the project is to make young people aware of the problem of violence and cyber bullying and its implications for young people and society, stimulating them to tackle the problem by using the power of sport as a unifying factor. Specific objectives: - developing the knowledge and skills of young people in the field of combating hatred and cyber bullying; - raising young people's awareness of basic human rights and presenting the No Hate Speech Movement as a tool to protect them; - raise awareness and encourage the sense and responsibility of young people towards the problem and learn about the consequences that aggression and online harassment can cause; - spreading greater awareness on the power of sport as a means to promote solidarity, non-violence and tolerance among young people, as well as a range of social skills. Our main objective is to empower young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, those who come from rural areas, those who have been victims of bullying, to learn more about the topic, ways to report incidents of bullying and cyberbullying, ways to fight and prevent them, involve them and inspire them to become activists and empower other young people themselves. We aim to make young people aware of the issue, providing a platform for young people from different countries and different backgrounds to get together, discuss and learn, share their opinions and discover sport as a way to combat violence and cyber bullying. We will strive to involve both the local community and other youth organizations at European level in order to raise the issue and encourage them to work more on this. We want participants to become more open, tolerant, accept differences, recognize their belonging to Europe and the importance of diversity, we want them to learn about and learn about the protection of human rights and peaceful ways to combat violence and cyberbullying .
